Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.

Both were delicious treats. The service was excellent and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of free parking in the lot and the interior is very homey. I follow them on Instagram and found out that Alex the manager had Dahlia tubers he was willing to share. I enjoyed talking with him about how he learned to grow them from his father. He was so generous and kind with advice. A good soul for the St Charles Community. They also have a location in Roselle I found out. Support this local coffee shop if you are in the area. It is special.

They were your regukar flavors except for Lemon White chocolate. i bought 1 of each along with their cranberry walnut scone. If you like the thin cooked that spread and remain soft, these will work for you. I need crispy edges at least. The scone was a very sad, depressed lump. After my first taste, i broke off pieces around the edge (pictures included) and you will see a cranberry walnut scone bereft of cranberries. There was NO TASTE of the dried fruit, even when i picked one out, it was a tiny teardrop of a possibility of the tart/sweet dried gem normally enjoyed. (maybe they should be macerated in orange juice or eben cranberry juice). oh! the walnuts were large nice pieces but with the horrible raw-flour taste overpowering even the mighty walnut, the lump could not be redeemed.

They also have cute little cookie decorating kits out right now for Easter ready to be purchased. Other goodies were cookies, fresh baked bread, honey sticks and dipped rice crispy treats, to name a few. You can also get coffee, teas and lemonades. I ended up getting the croissant stuffed and topped with chocolate chip cookie dough. It was delicious. Not overly sweet, but I ate it two different times throughout the day. It's definitely worth the $5! The employees were very patients as we looked at all the goodies trying to decide what we wanted, and willing to answer any questions.

I ended up ordering the Spanakopita Quiche, and I think that was the best quiche I've ever had. The flavor combination was fantastic. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture before I started devouring it. We also ordered the smoked salmon on brioche which was equally as delicious, with piles of the best smoked salmon. For dessert we had the baklava custard which had a somewhat "pie-like" consistency, sweet but not overly so, and was also delicious! The wait staff was very attentive and so very nice. We will most certainly be back and cannot recommend Mosaic strongly enough.

They have their main menu as well as some seasonal specials. They seem to specialize in coffee drinks but also have some tea & food/pastry options. When I visited, I ordered the Iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte. The staff member mentioned it was a popular drink and made in house but the flavor was rather subtle and appeared to be prebatched. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte which was pretty good! This spot could benefit from having more syrup flavors to add to standard products to give customers more variety. Either way, I'm happy I visited.

The drinks came out pretty fast, typically usually only around 2 people working from my experience, but really great service. I think this is a hidden gem and will definitely be back.

It started to make me feel sick and didn't want to stay too long. It was also confusing because they only list one price on their menu for every item and don't say a size. So I was confused when the girl asked me what size I wanted and I wasn't sure what price I was paying. I just ordered a medium iced latte with blackberry syrup. They have a lot of different syrup options! I didn't really like the latte that much and couldn't really taste the syrup almost as if it wasn't added. Maybe it's just because I prefer my lattes a lot more sweet and creamy, and this one tasted more like black coffee.

Everything from their roasts and drinks to the decor was fantastic. My wife had an iced vanilla latte, and I ordered a flat white. The flat white was beautifully balanced with smooth chocolate and light nutty notes, without being overly dark or roasted. I also picked up a 10 oz bag of their Brazil Yellow Bourbon Natural to brew at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and even brought our drinks right to our table. Highly recommend!

I used to come here a few yrs ago and it was actually a nice place but now it's just a room with some chairs and a roasting machine that I haven't seen in action pretty much ever.
